Grapes were picked at optimal ripeness to ensure good balance between fruity aromas, sugar and acidity. Harvesting was done by hand. Grapes are destemmed and lightly crushed with 24 hours skin contact for extraction of aromas. After pressing, the juice is fortified with neutral wine spirits. Regular stirring occurs to ensure marriage between juice and spirits.
